Decided...

After reading the manga, novel, and fan fiction about "Tales of Demons and Gods". Xiao Ning'er becomes quiet for a while.

XNing: "Am I just a fictional character in some book. Not only that, only one of it shows that I am a strong woman besides speaking for myself. I'm always saved by these "reincarnated" people. Oh my god! So that is why Nie Li is so knowledgeable. He came back in time because of a book and how he is obsessed with Ye Ziyun and me being in love with him in this story is because he was just right there at the right time with the knowledge to help me. In his first life, I ran away from Glory City because I didn't want to be with Shen Fei. *looking at Raizen* Are you also a 'reincarnated' person?"

R: "Technically, I didn't die, I was just sucked in a hole when a bomb from a terrorist went off at the wrong time."

XNing: "So is it also because of this story that you knew about me?"

R: "Yes"

XNing: "Do I always fall in love with the person that saves me? Even Shen Yue saved me and that is because it was taken over by a good person. Is my life pitiful that I need to be saved every time?"

R: "Listen it may or may not be the decision of the author to make your life miserable because like what I have explained to you. The stories that they wrote were ideas given to them based on the original timeline and any changes they make are just for the story to be sold. Besides, people were getting bored writing and reading the same scenarios about the guy always getting the girl just because he's the protagonist. A man chasing the woman of his dreams is also being chased by a woman that he saved unintentionally not because he wanted to but because he is a good person is more appealing to the readers. So more books are sold, fan-based fiction about it were written, and even a show was created because it's popular."

XNing: "But I am not real!"

R: "Yes you are. You are the one who decided to accept my help with your cultivation. You also decided to personally beat up Shen Fei with your own hands and say the things you wanted to say. You decided to make it. Besides, you already know about the multiverse and you being a Black Gold rank demon spiritualist while Ye Ziyun is still at Silver rank means that your life now is real."

XNing: "..."

R: "Look... I can take away your memories for the past hours. I can make you forget everything that you learned here and how you think that you are not a real person. And I don't mean amnesia but really "take away" all of it. We are in my time chamber, one day outside is ten thousand years inside so you can think about it for a long time in here if you want to."

XNing: "Are you real?"

R: "As real as I can ever be. Let me tell you something. In Nie Li's first life where you ran away from the marriage, you didn't even know that Du ze exit or Lu Pao or even Nie Li because they didn't give value to themselves. I could have let the original story play out by itself because what I need to do will not come into contact with the people from the story. I just need to learn about how the soul works in this realm. I would have been fine if I am just a poor man living at the edge of the city. I could just be a normal cook without getting the attention of big families. Heck, I could just live above the cloud while studying the souls."

XNing: "Why didn't you?"

R: "Because I want to experience different things, I would probably need to be a bad guy at some point of my journey but I will cross that bridge when I get there. For now, traveling to a different world is what I want to experience. It also makes me feel alive by gaining these experiences."

XNing: "...I decided"

R: "?"

XNing: "I do not care if I am real or not. I would just live in the moment and not the past or the possible future that is always changing. I would also want to experience different things for myself."

R: "Good for you"

XNing: "That is why I want to come with you!"

R: "Are you sure?"

XNing: "Yes"

R: "ok"

Raizen then put his hand on the top of her head.

XNing: "umm... what are you doing?"

R: "I already have asked before with my helper what should I do if I want to bring someone with me after my quest in the current world. I just need to give that person a portion of my cultivation so that he/she will be connected to me. Unless if she is my wife and do somethings then..."

XNing: "Only a companion... No! I want to also be your wife!"

R: "...I just thought that after knowing all that information, you just want to come with me as a friend."

XNing: "I already made my mind before that I want to be with you forever. That is why I was going to join the banquet, to see you."

R: *smiling* "Thank you"

XNing: "For what?"

R: "For the chance to be in love with you"

XNing: "hmm... I have read it from one of your books. You are being 'cheezy', right?"

Raizen just walks up to her and hugs her tightly. He then told her about how she will be able to come with her as his wife. How they need to fill up a mark that made her blush so much. On how she will turn into a baby when they get to the next world and get back her memories when she becomes six years old. And how she would lose her cultivation base and start again in the next world.

She accepted all of it and didn't care about her cultivation because Raizen can make her a Black Gold rank in just almost four months. So he can just do it anytime. She just wanted to be with him. She asks if he has any photos of her sister Saeko. Raizen gave her the photo album of Saeko from when they were still in Highschool of the dead, in RWBY when she became a baby. In Doulou Dalu when she is beating up the Titled Doulou there and when they are in Against the Gods.

XNing: "Doulou Dalu? Against the Gods?"

R: "Yea, those two realms are considered higher compare to your world just because they have divine cultivators. In Against the gods, a Martial Ancestor is just equivalent to a Sovereign Profound realm cultivator. That does not include the type of energy if your's is better than them or not."

XNing: "What about your cultivation?"

R: "My cultivation is separate to the cultivation of these worlds so I can not cultivate like you do but I can learn from it and make my own. So even though I am showing Silver rank cultivation, it is denser and purer. Your cultivation is the only thing that comes close. Not even the cultivation of Nie Li's group or Ye Ziyun was as pure as mine, especially since it already come across different energies. Though mine will be considered my original energy."

Xiao Ning'er and Raizen talk some more inside the time chamber. She keeps on reading stuff that interests her. She also broke through to demigod rank but didn't start learning about laws yet. Though with all the ideas from the library of Raizen, learning laws might be easier for her when she starts.

Now the two of them were back at the place where they meet each other. They stayed for 10 years inside the time chamber because Xiao Ning'er wanted to learn about the modern things that Raizen has in there. Raizen then suggests that she should learn about science and philosophy so that she will have better insight into learning laws. Ning'er asks him about the storyline of her world.

XNing: "If we already know that Ye Han and the Sacred Family were traitors. Why not just tell it to the City Lord?"

R: "You may do so but I already decided that from here on out, I will only interfere if it's a life and death situation. As for the beast horde, I got myself a Legendary rank demon beast that will protect Glory City."

XNing: "The Abyss Demon"

R: "Yes. I also improve it by making it jump cultivations up to Supreme if in some unforeseen event that the Sage Emperor still beat Nie Li. I even covered this Tiny World with a barrier that even if there is someone stronger than the Sage Emperor who came, it can not be broken. I even put some runes that will do some things in the off chance that someone that is stronger than the current me come here."

XNing: "You already thought about it huh. Ok then, I will just follow you."

Raizen just smiles at her and continues their conversation below the moonlight.

The banquet ended with Ye Han and the Sacred family backing out.

The start of the new class has come and Ye Han challenge Nie Li to a spar.

Raizen and Ning'er were watching the fight while eating popcorn on the side. Xiao Ning'er was already graduated from taking any class because everybody knows that she is already a Black Gold rank demon spiritualist. She was also engaged with Raizen when she told it to her family with the support of the Snow Wind Family. Raizen was also recognized as a Black Gold rank when he showed his "cultivation" to the naysayers.

When the fight ended, Ye Han healed himself somewhere. Shen Xiu talked about a plan to overthrow the Snow Wind Family and Ye Han followed her to talk to a secluded location. Unknown to them, they are being followed by two people.

Nie Li and his group went to the Abyss Prison realm and it took them more than a week before returning. The array is complete and the beast horde is only waiting for a signal to destroy Glory City.

The news of the demon beast horde was heard by everyone so the City is now on high alert. The experts were now gathered and divided into different locations. Nie Li's group and five hundred people started digging trenches and being filled up by the alchemist guild with a concoction that was made by Nie Li.

XNing: "Should we help them?"

R: "You don't need to ask me that. You can help them if you want to. I already made my own preparations beforehand so I am just waiting for the horde to come."

Xiao Ning'er nods and helps the others. With her help in digging, they have covered more grounds faster.

They waited for ten hours until the sun rises and the demon beast horde came to the view of the people at the top of the wall.

The beast tide keeps pouring in even with the additional land that has been used to slow down the horde.

When the horde is at the wall, Raizen throws something in the middle of the beast tide. From there, the people who were at the battle in the City Lord Mansion, recognize the Abyss Demon that suddenly vanished that night. But this Abyss Demon's fire is color blue, different from the more common color of yellow and red.

Ye Xiu: "Isn't that the Abyss Demon?"

The others also could not believe what they were seeing. The Abyss Demon is thinning out the horde and killing all in its path. Though the demon was in the middle of the horde, it was charging towards the Black Gold rank demon beasts.

Shen Hong: "Can someone tell me is there an Abyss Demon killing other demon beasts in the middle of the horde?"

Ye Xiu: "I recognize the beast as the one that attacked the City Lord Mansion but suddenly vanished from the battle. The color is the only difference but I remember that damage that the people dealt into its armor so I'm sure that it's the same Abyss Demon."

Shen Hong: "Why does it fight the horde?"

YZong: "Ask questions later. We got other pressing matters to do. It is better if the Abyss Demon kills the high-ranking beast above Gold rank so that we will only handle the weaker ones. So far, no one has died yet because of the preparations done by the Alchemist Association."

The other family heads agree but Shen Hong was still curious why such a demon is attacking its own but not the humans.

While the Abyss Demon was in the middle of the horde. Raizen and Xiao Ning'er were at the back killing a few Black Gold ranks and harvesting their demon souls.

XNing: "With our pace and the Abyss Demon's killing spree. The horde will retreat before sunset."

R: "hmm... Not fast enough. Let's just finish this a little bit faster."

On the top of the wall, people were seeing explosions from behind the beast horde then the Abyss Demon got a little bit smaller but its speed has increased. After just four hours, the beast horde retreated completely and only a few hundreds died from the horde when the beast throw big boulders towards the wall.

Ye Xiu: "This is considered a miracle that we only suffer below a thousand casualties and the fight with them ended in just a day."

YZong: "After cleaning up and restoring the wall. Tell the people that the city will celebrate this."

Shen Hong, who was waiting for a chance to kill Ye Zong, was shocked that the fight against the demon beast horde didn't even last a full day.

Nie Li, on the other hand, was relieved and in disbelief, that fight ended quickly compared to the past battle with demon beasts.

A few days after the battle. People were celebrating and mourning their loss.

A meeting was then proposed for all the families by the Snow Wind family for how they will deal with the beast horde corpse.

The night before the meeting, Ye Han tried to kill Ye Zong but he failed because somehow the poison in the blade that he used is only slowing Ye Zong down. Ye Han fled after failing to kill the City Lord.

Ye Ziyun came then after an hour Nie Li also came to look at the City Lord. Even after Nie Li redirected all the poison outside Ye Zong's body, he is still not breathing properly. Ye Ziyun keeps begging Nie Li to do something to help her father but he was at a loss because he couldn't understand what is happening.

Ye Xiu decided that if Nie Li couldn't help Ye Zong then even the alchemist guild will not be able to. For now, they will suppress the news of Ye Zong being ill until the gathering.

At the same time, two people were looking at what Ye Han did and was listening to the plan of Shen Hong about him.
